Curtin put the 4-year-old Powerful Toy mare on the front end and she would set all the fractions, holding off a vicious late rally by Dance Hall for the win.

“Irene” has banked more than $375,000 lifetime. She made most of that money while dominating the Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund program events for 2- and 3-year-olds.

It was a very formful night and a good one for chalk players as favorites won seven of the 10 races on the program.
